I'm going to try to make this vague but understandable: Is it just Trump, or is it the entire Republican party?

I don't think it's fair to blanket generalize an entire party, but as of late, it seems like they are giving us no choice.

I do believe that there are some Republicans who distance themselves from Trump, but they are becoming fewer and farther between. They are too afraid of alienating their base. They are too busy putting party before country, to actually do the right thing. :(
 
Enablers are bigger problem now. GOP should focus on what's good for the US and do what's right.
 
I think that at this point it's a systematic problem and not just isolated to the Republicans. I think the partisan divide runs through both parties. With the impeachment inquiry, we're really seeing the depths of it highlighted within the Republican party particularly. So it's not just Trump. Trump is just corrupt enough and inexperienced enough to bring some of these issues to the forefront, but they've been going on for some time now. If you remove Trump, you won't fix the problems since the problems exist within the established powers of the Republocrat Oligarchy.

They have gone off the deep end and all we can really do is be patient for the demographics changes. I am not sure what else to do but wait.

Too vague. "Is WHAT just Trump"? What is this "problem" you refer to?

Also, when speaking about the "entire Republican Party", you should really be differentiating between the "entire rank and file" and the "GOP Elites". Those two groups are not really on the same page and one of those two groups is not on the same page as Trump.

I selected "other". (thank you for presenting that choice)

I agree, you can't paint the entire party with such a broad brush. There are some who had enough common sense and character to have never voted for Trump, and some who have are seeing the light and distancing themselves. But for a lot of them it's party over country to the max, and that is a sad thing for America.

If you don't know what I'm referring to, you probably don't perceive a problem to begin with.

I agree, they need to get a backbone and grow a pair.

I think it refers to the hyperpartisan breakdown of government functionality and the Party before Country attitude we see on display.

As I said...too vague.

I don't know...I perceive a problem with Trump, but I don't think it's the one you perceive.

I think Trump should go bald.

That is certainly not limited to republicants. The hyper-partisan divide is evident in polling data of the general population.

It's not the entire Republican party. Only 90-95% of them.
 
Nope....its not the Republicans.....its the Democrats

They have clearly become "bat ****" crazy to the point of apparent mental ilness

Trump is the devil and the GOP has sold its collective soul to him. Now they are both pretty much the same.

It could be that. It could be that and the fact that there are white supremacists in the White House directing policy and no one in the Republican party cares. It could be Trump outsources American foreign policy people like Rudy Guiliani. It could be that Trump lavishes praise on autocrats. It could be that corruption orbits him like moons to a gas giant. It could be that Trump has access to the most information on the planet but opts to get his information from Fox News and Alex Jones. It's frankly exhausting just thinking of all the menu of options to choose from to associate with "It" or "The Problem".
 
The problem is, the 2 parties are too powerful, and too beholden to wealth for that power.

They are, they're waiting on Pelosi to put the Canadian-Mexican trade agreement up for a vote.
 
I hope "it" is the whole Republican Party. Romney had a "delightful " lunch with the president. McCain is dead and buried.

Still expect Romney to fold at some critical juncture.

I'm waiting for the unicorn-like respectable Republicans to call for the resignation of Steven Miller. Want to be the first, American?
 
I don't think it's just Trump. The GOP didn't want Trump; they were stuck with him and are trying to make the most of a situation that was outside of their control. I think what makes it complicated is the Trump brand of politics is now associated with the GOP since they have to defend him to keep his base on their side.
